    Dan, do you even do actual research?? The chance that Shabazz ends up at UNLV is much higher than him landing in Kentucky! Yet you have UNLV at a 1,000-1? LMAO!!

    Dan;

    That is an important point regarding attracting All-Americans but maintaining them for a championship run. It reminds me of the Michigan team which had Webber and Rose on it (the Fab 5). Imagine if they would have stayed in school for all four years. Then fast forward to today after the multitude of straight from high school to the NBA, followed by the ban of non-one-year college basketball players and all you have is an NCAA which is getting a kick back from the NBA by not taking players straight out of high school. I am not saying I am for straight to the pros either, but there with the economic challenges many of these players (and their families) face—it is no suprise that the one-year wonders are becoming the norm. Personally, I enjoy the college game much more than the NBA. Lebron helped me wake up from my slow lull into starting to believe in professional athletes again.

    Thank you for your feedback. What do you think will happen to UK basketball now that Wall is starting to show his mark in the NBA Summer League?
